The best, cheapest, safest salt to melt ice!
by Nancy Levine 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Dear Neighbors With the first snow flurries in the forecast for next week, it's time to think about keeping our sidewalks safe. In addition to making sure no one gets injured by falling on them, we need to keep our rivers, drinking water, plants and pets safe from the effects of salt. Salt can injure or kill plants and animals (especially our pets). There is no salt that is safe or good for the environment, but there are safer choices. *Worst Choice:* rock salt (sodium chloride). It is cheapest per pound, but melts less snow than alternatives, so it ends up costing more. It only works down to 15 degrees, so it won't melt ice on a typical winter morning. It also has cyanide in it. It is the worst for the environment, since you end up using more of it. *Better Choice: *calcium chloride or calcium magnesium are better bets. It is much more effective than rock salt, so you use less and that makes it cheaper too. It works down to -25 degrees. It has no cyanide in it. *Best Choice:* Use as little salt as possible to get the job done. Shovel your walks to prevent ice forming and you will need less salt. De-icers don't work on snowy sidewalks, so shovel first Stay warm and safe, Nancy 🚲

Highland Park - Beautiful 4-month old girl tabby kitten needs a home
by mattjc 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

Tina is a short hair domestic tabby and is very affectionate and lots of fun. She loves to take a nap on your head when you're laying down. She has striking markings and is quite a looker. She is spayed and is up to date on all her shots. She is an indoor cat. I want her to go to a good home for someone who is serious about the responsibility. Unfortunately, I am too allergic to her to keep her. If anyone is interested, please contact me at [mattjc@protonmail.com](mailto:matthewclews@gmail.com). You are welcome to come and see her. Thanks!
